Suddenly, the flowing clouds came and covered the bright moonlight. The riverside turned completely dark, and thunder rumbled.

Ye Jingtang, wearing a bamboo hat, was pacing slowly outside the port. The night wind gradually blew away the sweet feeling of being with Heroine Luo, and all kinds of messy worries surged into his mind.

Dumdum is very good to me. Be it out of the righteousness of the worid or out of personal righteousness, I can only think of ways to recruit the Pacifying Heaven Cult. How should i persuade Xue Baijin to surrender…

I stole her wife, and i plan to ask her to surrender. Am i a villain…

There’s also Third Lady. I can’t tell Third Lady that Xue Baijin is a woman. How should 1 explain this…

i stole someone else’s woman and said that the Pacifying Heaven Cult wouldn’t deal with the Red Flower Pavilion. It would be strange if Third Lady believed it…

Ye Jingtang looked up and saw that there were still lights on on the second floor of the ferry in the distance.

The mature beauty was sitting with her back facing the window on the second floor. Although he didn’t look very carefully, he could still feel the resentment and sorrow emanating from her bones from afar.

“Sigh…” Ye Jingtang rubbed his forehead and remained silent for a while. But he still put on a peaceful and warm expression and walked toward the ferry.

But just as he entered the port, a figure walked out from the shadows. “Jingtang?”

Ye Jingtang thought that Third Lady was waiting for him and was shocked. But when he turned around, he saw the patrolling second-in-command, Song Chi, walk out.

Song Chi, who was wearing a brocade robe, walked up to him with a serious expression. “We haven’t left Azure Yang City yet. The Zhou family might be making moves secretly. It’s very risky to walk outside alone. Be careful.”

Ye Jingtang cupped his hands and bowed. “I’ve always been on guard. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Song.”

Song Chi placed his hands behind his back and fell silent for a moment. “That Jian Yuhua today is a good seedling. I like him, but it’s a pity that he met someone unvirtuous. If he can become a disciple of our Red Flower Pavilion, we will have another general in the future.”

Ye Jingtang indeed had a good impression of Jiang Yuhua. He asked, “Uncle Song, do you know where he is?”

“He snuck here to look for a boat just now. Yuanqing followed him to take a look. They’re at Yellow Pine Pier.”

Ye Jingtang nodded slightly. He didn’t know how to explain to Third Lady now, so he simply turned around and said, “Let’s go and take a look. I’ll see if I can make him join us.”

Song Chi and Ye Jingtang walked out of the port together. After some thought, Song Chi said, “Changqing’s talent isn’t good, and I have taken root in the powerful Heavenly South. If 1 don’t have a successor, the Red Flower Pavilion’s influence in the south will…”

“Uncle Song, you want Jian Yuhua to enter the White Tiger Hall?”

Song Chi sighed. “If we really poach him back, Third Lady will definitely pull him into the Azure Dragon Hall and let that kid learn spearmanship. Let’s just keep this between us. As an elder, 1’11 teach you fist techniques later…”

Ye Jingtang shook his head and chuckled. “Uncle Song, you can go over and recruit him yourself. Why are you calling me over?”

Song Chi waved his hand. “I am the hall master of the White Tiger Hall after all.

How can I deceive my superiors and secretly line my pockets? When you take charge of the Red Flower Pavilion in the future, you will make things difficult for me. Won’t 1 feel terrible?”

“Uncle Song, you’re being too serious…”

Azure Yang City was a large city in Ze Province. Farther east was the Cloud Dream Swamp, and Jun Mountain Terrace was on the other side of the Cloud Dream Swamp. For this reason, there were many ports around Azure Yang City. Most of them were along the Clear River, and another portion was at the mouth of a tributary that headed to the Cloud Dream Swamp.

Pitter-patter…

It was already late at night, and it suddenly started to rain again. The inside and outside of Azure Yang City fell into a dead silence, leaving only the sound of the rain.

Ye Jingtang held his bamboo hat on his head and silently passed through the streets and alleys covered in sewage with Song Chi. They arrived at a small dock on the east side of Azure Yang City.

The dock was a small dock that usually transported groceries. There were a few warehouses around it and some cargo ships anchored by the river. Some lights could be seen on the small street in the distance, but the dock was completely dark.

Ye Jingtang followed Song Chi. When they turned around the alley, he realized that there was some light coming from a small window in a warehouse in the distance.

Ye Jingtang was about to go over when Song Chi raised his hand to stop him.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ye Jingtang instantly stopped and listened carefully. He heard sounds coming from the old warehouse.

Mwah—

The breathing of a man and a woman, as well as strange sounds, which sounded similar to his kiss with Heroine Luo…

?!

Song Chi’s calm and reserved expression froze.

Ye Jingtang was also baffled. He looked at the second-in-command beside him. Uh… what should we do?

Song Chi really didn’t expect to encounter such an awkward matter when he brought the young master here to take in a disciple.

But since he was already here, he couldn’t turn around and go back.

Therefore, the young master and second-in-command of the Red Flower Pavilion were like old perverts listening at the base of a wall in the middle of the night. They sneakily leaned against the wall and listened to the sounds inside.

Fortunately, the people inside didn’t embarrass the two big shots of Jianghu too much. Soon, they spoke again.

“Why don’t we take the Clear River route? If we take the Cloud Dream Swamp route, we might bump into the people of Jun Mountain Terrace…”

“I just went to the riverside to take a look. There are people watching the dock. We’ll be discovered if we board the ship.”

“It’s all thanks to that Young Master Ye today. Otherwise…”

“Sigh, Master has always had this temper. It’s my fault for not practicing my martial arts well. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have ended up like this…”

Ye Jingtang was listening intently when Song Chi’s ears suddenly twitched, and he raised his hand slightly.

Rustle, rustle, rustle…

The sound of rushing wind approached from the rain.

The sound was extremely quiet. If not for the fact that it was drizzling and it was difficult to hide the traces, he would probably not have noticed it until the sound was very close.

Ye Jingtang’s eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned against the wall under the eaves outside the warehouse and became motionless while paying attention to above him.

Whoosh…

A black shadow appeared above the alley and flashed past, making it difficult to see the figure clearly.

At this moment, the conversation in the warehouse stopped.

Soon, steady footsteps sounded from the river opposite the warehouse.

Tap, tap, tap…

The warehouse on the small dock was full of goods such as clay pots and stones. There was only a small lock on the door. At this moment, it had already been opened. There was a small candle placed above a pile of limestone tiles.

Jian Yuhua was leaning against the wall with his sleeves rolled up. His arms were bruised, and his face looked a little weak.

A woman dressed as a young lady was holding medicine in her hand and was originally applying it to his arms.

But at this moment, the two of them were silent, and their expressions were solemn as they looked at the door of the old warehouse.

Tread, tread…

The familiar and steady footsteps gradually approached, and every sound seemed to hammer their hearts.

Their faces gradually turned pale as the footsteps approached.

Swish swish…

Jian Yuhua stood up with his back against the wail, his arms drooping weakly, as he looked at the door silently.

The woman’s eyes were full of fear.. She stood up and stood in front of Jian Yuhua…
